The First Lady: A Feminist Review
I’ve thought about Michelle Obama’s role significantly. I wonder how much has been her choice, and how much has been the choice of media shapers. I really have no idea. It’s apparent that she has definitely broken with the expected role of the First Lady, but I do wonder how much is HER choice. And that’s what’s important to me. I appreciate one of the commentator’s saying that women’s equality is about choice. While I would love to see Michelle using her legal prowess to push forward her goals (e.g., improving eating habits, helping military families). But I guess it really does boil down to what she wants. And if she’s doing what she wants, I support (even if I’d really like to see her doing something else).
